Free Run vs. Free Range vs. Conventional egg production:

Free-run: hens live in barns and can roam about inside the barn

Free-range: hens live in barns but have access to the outdoors, weather permitting.

Conventional cage: hens live in groups of five or six. This is the most common type and represents about 98% of Canadian egg production.
